Hi @kidrahdev , Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately we are not able to replicate the issue on our end. Can you please confirm once that you have not set your OPENAI_API_KEY to empty or something else?

I can confirm that, if I set it to env variables my code works but if I don't set anything and pass the same key as a parameter the above error is thrown
